Will it make a difference? That depends on what you are doing. Working with higher memory loads or USB 3 is probably going to be a bit faster. For some things, it won’t make much of a difference. Especially since all the applications are still running in 32-bit mode.

On average, the operation took about 104 seconds with the 32-bit kernel. With the 64-bit kernel it only took 76 seconds. That’s worthwhile, although depending on the task, you could see more or less improvement.

He cautions that not all software will run in a 64-bit environment and the very sensible advice to use a backup of the operating system in case of issues.

Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
